Ying Zichu's order has not yet been passed to Meng Ao and Wang Jian on the front line, but the Qin army's opponent Zhao Kuo was not idle either.

Looking at the battle report from Handan in front of him, Zhao Kuo showed a meaningful smile on his face.

"It seems that this battle report should be handled by the King himself?"

The reason for saying this is because Zhao Kuo discovered a very different point from this battle report, that is, King Zhao did not mention the existence of explosives in the battle report at all.

Beside Zhao Kuo, Su Li nodded and said, "Based on the situation we obtained from our connections in Handan, this battle report was indeed revised by the king and sent someone to rewrite it."

Zhao Kuo laughed: "It seems that the king should be really ready to move."

For Zhao Kuo, King Zhao's actions were also expected by him.

Su Li said: "What should we do now?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and reached out and clicked a memorial on the table that had just been written: "Su Li, please send someone to give this memorial to us, the lovely king at the fastest speed."

Since Zhao Kuo said that he should be the fastest speed, he must be the fastest speed.

Three days later, Zhao Kuo's memorial appeared on King Zhao's table.

When Zhao Kuo's memorial was delivered, King Zhao was in a very good mood.

Because King Zhao had just received a message from the Eunuch Order from the front line, that Eunuch Order had controlled three sorcerers who could configure explosives and eliminated all other insiders.

In the view of King Zhao, after such a handling by the eunuch order, the powerful new weapon "Shentian Thunder" has been completely controlled by King Zhao.

This made King Zhao full of confidence and gave him more confidence in getting rid of Zhao Kuo's next action.

"Very good, let me see what tricks you, Wu Xinjun, are going to do."

With such confidence, King Zhao smiled and picked up the memorial from Zhao Kuo in front of him.

As he looked, King Zhao's expression slowly changed.

In Zhao Kuo's memorial, in addition to congratulating Zhao's army on the victory of the Qi battlefield, another thing was mentioned.

"...I heard that in the battlefield of Changguo City, a weapon called Zhentian Lei appeared. This weapon is extremely powerful and can instantly blow up the city wall. It is really a weapon of the country.

The old minister believes that this kind of powerful weapon of the country should be properly preserved, otherwise if it is discovered by ulterior motives, it will inevitably be detrimental to our Zhao State!"

Seeing this, King Zhao's expression was completely stiff, and countless question marks emerged in his mind.

How did Zhao Kuo know about this?

He obviously did not mention even a word "Shentian Thunder" in the battle report sent to Zhao Kuo! But immediately, King Zhao understood.

"This guy Zhao Kuo also has spies in Li Mu's army! No, it's Han Fei!"

It was not until this time that King Zhao suddenly realized that he had made an extremely huge mistake.

This mistake is that in order to consider the so-called "check and balance", King Zhao set up a confidant of Zhao Kuo as a military supervisor in Li Mu's army.

Han Fei is not blind. Once he sees this situation in Changguocheng, he must have written a letter to tell Zhao Kuo as soon as possible.

If that is the case, what is the point of King Zhao deliberately trying to conceal the news of the thunder from Zhao Kuo?

King Zhao's face was blue and white.

The clown is actually me! It’s so embarrassing! After a long time, King Zhao hit the table with a punch, gritting his teeth.

"No, Zhao Kuo must be removed, the faster the better!"

Since embarrassment is inevitable, then just kill Zhao Kuo, the person who embarrassed King Zhao, can it be considered as nothing happened?

When he thought of this, King Zhao suddenly became happy again.

King Zhao was very happy, but now King Qi, who is an enemy of King Zhao, is not happy at all.

Before the Qi Palace Hall, Hou Sheng leaned his head and his face was full of hesitation and entanglement.

Beside Hou Sheng, there were several other important officials from Qi State. At this moment, these important officials were all worried.

Hou Sheng coughed and said to an old important minister beside him with white hair and beard, "Mr. Tian, ​​you are the royal family of our Qi Kingdom, otherwise you will tell the king this news?"

Lord Tian was shocked after hearing this sentence, and waved his hands repeatedly and said, "You are the prime minister of our Qi Kingdom and the king's most trusted confidant. It is better for you to tell the king about this matter."

I will refuse a few people, but no one dares to tell the news to the King of Qi.

What news?

Of course, it was news that Changguo City was broken and Qi was about to face disaster.

In fact, Hou Sheng and others had received this news a few days ago, but they did not dare to tell the King of Qi.

Why?

Because this news was so devastating that all the main forces of Qi were wiped out. If the King of Qi heard this news, could he withstand it?

In this case, whoever tells the King of Qi this news will become the punching bag used by the King of Qi to vent his anger.

It is precisely because of this reason that Hou Sheng and others have obviously received the news for so many days, but they have been afraid to tell the King of Qi for a long time.

But the problem is that as time goes by, the Zhao army led by Li Mu has begun to approach Linzi City.

At this time, a general of Qi suddenly walked over quickly, Xiang Housheng and others heard a message that they absolutely did not want to hear.

"My dear sirs, the news I just received is that the main force of the Zhao army led by Li Mu is less than two days away from Linzi City."

This news shocked everyone present.

"Did Li Mu actually come so fast?

Why is there no news at all?”

"Without the army of Grand Sima, can our city still be defended?"

"If we don't tell the king again, we will be all done when the king knows it."

Amid these discussions, Hou Sheng finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, don't even argue.

Let’s do it, you all come in with me and tell the king about this matter together. If the king wants to blame him, then we all bear it together.

How about it?"

At this point, no one can find a better way than Housheng's proposal, so they could only follow Housheng very nervously and enter the main hall of Qi together.

At this moment, music was flying in the hall, and many dancers were dancing inside.

In addition, the fragrance of fine wine and delicacies is also essential. King Qi is sitting on the throne at the top, admiring your dancing with interest, with a happy smile on his face.

After seeing Hou Sheng and others arrive, King Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said to Hou Sheng, "Come on, come on, sit down and have two drinks with me."

Hou Sheng listened to the words of King Qi, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to King Qi with a stern tongue: "That's right, the king has a message to tell the king, and ask the king to let all these dancers and musicians go down first."

King Qi was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand with some displeasure, signaling all the dancers and musicians present to leave.

“What exactly happened?

Now, can you tell me?"

King Qi said to Housheng.

Hou Sheng glanced at several important officials of Qi State beside him, gritted his teeth, and then said, "That's right, king.

The battle situation in Changguocheng has come out. Our army in Changguocheng has suffered heavy losses, and Grand Sima Kuangliang has committed suicide and died for his country."

After hearing Hou Sheng's report, King Qi was stunned.

After several seconds, King Qi couldn't help but scream.

"How is this possible?"

In panic, King Qi even knocked over the wine glass at his hand.

The fragrance of fine wine drifted in the air, but at this time no one of the monarchs and ministers of Qi was in the mood to take care of this matter.

Hou Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Although Li Mu's troops suffered some losses, they still captured Changguo City after all.

Now Li Mu's troops have begun to march towards Linzi, and will soon arrive at the city of Linzi soon. Please make plans for the king!"

The King of Qi was struck by lightning and remained motionless, and his whole person seemed to have turned into a clay statue in an instant.

Hou Sheng and others were unconsciously nervous when they watched this scene.

Hou Sheng coughed gently and said, "Master, Master?"

The King of Qi remained motionless.

After a while, King Qi slowly spoke, "So, how many days will Li Mu have to surround Linzi?"

Although Housheng didn't want to answer, he had to answer this question again: "...about three or four days."

Hou Sheng didn't dare to tell the truth at this time. If he had to say it directly for two days, the King of Qi would immediately wake up and know the tricks of Hou Sheng and these guys.

Sure enough, after hearing Hou Sheng's answer, King Qi's mood did not seem to have continued to get worse, but continued to say lightly: "So that's it."

The hall fell into death silence again.

The wine is fragrant and the food is ahead, but no one has an appetite, and no one dares to speak at this time.

King Qi spoke again: "So, what should I do next?"

The King of Qi was asking all the ministers, but the ministers beside Hou Sheng were all very thieves and didn't speak.
